Kenneth,

This is a wonderful carving. You have put some many details into the piece. I simply cannot imagine the patience and perseverance it takes to produce something like this.

Thanks for the post.

Exquisite detail. Thanks for posting.

Great carving,

I like the way you combined the frame as part of the carving.

It looks like he means business.

Kenneth – this is really excellent. How big is it? I had a look at your other projects – your carvings are something else. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for all the comments.

Kerry,
The piece is about 10 inches tall and the board I used was an inch thick. I can’t tell you the exact measurements because I have a bad habit of not measuring a piece before I give it to the client.

Thank you,
Kenneth
